Bridgestone Municipal Utility District will break ground on its new administration facility at 19720 Kuykendahl Road, Spring, on April 27. The facility will house spaces for the MUD, the water district management and Harris County Precinct 4, and will feature a general assembly space.

The WDM room will allow for the public to visually learn more about where the water they use comes from and where it goes after use. The substation for Precinct 4 will include space for meetings as well as a break room. Once built, the assembly space can be divided into three separate rooms by partition walls that slide out from the three main walls.

One week after the approval of Spring ISD's revised 2020-21 instructional calendar, which includes intersessional breaks and extends into late June, Superintendent Rodney Watson said he stands by the district's decision to adopt a revised calendar without seeking community feedback.

With a storm brewing in the Gulf of Mexico and expected to make landfall in Louisiana by Sunday and with a global pandemic still spreading, officials and residents are changing how they prepare for a more active hurricane season.

In hopes of avoiding a new wave of homelessness plaguing Harris County, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo have requested all justices of the peace countywide to postpone eviction hearings until late August.
